Trump Urged To Battle FDA’s E-Cig Regulation

President-elect Donald Trump has been urged to block the Food and Drug Administration’s deeming regulations that would threaten 15,000 e-cig makers and potentially stop smokers from quitting.

Wisconsin Sen. Ron Johnson and Californian Rep. Duncan Hunter have written to Vice President-elect Mike Pence arguing that the new regulations could destroy the industry as there will be $1 million in fees imposed per product.

“If the FDA’s overreach goes unchecked, then thousands of jobs and small businesses will disappear,” said the Republicans.

“[The burdensome rules] could potentially hurt the public’s health by making it harder for consumers to access products that serve as an alternative to smoking,” they added.
